Well thank you my friend. Anything you see that you like can easily be YOUR build
Drooling over Tmack's builds!
Although thermal on the near-silent supressed 300blk could be very cool. Silent and invisible. Hmmmmm.
the reason I want thermal over NV is that in Iraq, the bad guys were using cell phone's cameras to see the IR lasers and such. Apparently the cell cameras can "see" some of the IR spectrum as well. You may want to experiment with your IR laser and cell camera to test it. With thermal, you don't use an IR illuminator. so it is harder to be spotted by someone else with NV or a camera. Judicious use of an IR laser could be helpful in some circumstances, however.
Hi TMack,
Been lurking for a long time but your lasers are very impressive, enough to have me try and join in!
Are you able to give me rough run times and costs for a 3w or 6w 445nm in a pocketable host? Say, something the size of the Nitecore P16 - around 6" long?
Also, what are you typically using for power - 18650's ? Is there a benefit for going for a a dual cell setup or is the limit on runtime more around heat generation than current draw; or perhaps they the same thing?
Thanks.
I used low light setting on my phone. Also it was cloudy and the sun was just starting to go down so the beams are quite visable
